Meja Feel Good Sweater — PDF Knitting Pattern #183

Meja was designed to be exactly what its name promises: a feel-good jumper. The body is plain stocking stitch, worked in one piece up to the armholes, then the front and back are finished separately and joined at the shoulders – the only seam you sew. The sleeves are picked up from the body and knitted downwards, so there is nothing to set in and nothing to match. I left the neckline without ribbing so it rolls softly on its own, and if you prefer a neater edge, one round of crochet finishes it. Knitted at a relaxed tension, the chunky yarn turns soft and drapey rather than stiff, and it grows quickly enough to keep a first jumper moving from one evening to the next.

Good to know:

Construction - the body is worked in one piece from the cast-on edge up to the armholes, then front and back are finished separately. Only the shoulders are sewn; the sleeves are picked up around the armholes and knitted downwards to ribbed cuffs. The neckline is left without ribbing – work one round of double crochet (UK terms; US single crochet) with a 7 mm hook for a neater edge.

You will also need - 5 mm and 6 mm needles, plus a 7 mm crochet hook if you want to finish the neckline.

Substituting yarn - any yarn that knits to 13 sts x 17 rows over 10 cm in stocking stitch on 6 mm needles.

In the download - the pattern is included in both English and Swedish.

Happy Knitting!
